Preface & Foreword
This revised edition presents a series of small text improvements throughout the book and a certain revision of the text of chapter 4 which was required to enable a better understanding of some physical explanations.
A more important change was carried out in subchapter 5.9 in relation to "the examination of water drive performance", where an excellent demonstration for a new procedure was developed for two real field cases. All elements of design, such as injection pressure, oil rate, and recovery prediction are explained in detail and illustrated with two field examples: one in the North Sea and another one in East-Texas.
The philosophy introduced by Laurie Dake in chapter 5.9 concerns the key to understanding the reservoir fractional flow technique by the appreciation that the Buckley-Leveret theory is dimensionless and thus represents the simplest statement of the material balance for water drive.
In this book, containing the basic material and modifications prepared by the author Laurie Dake, any Petroleum Engineer will find the essential basis not only for understanding a gas or oil field, but also for predicting the future behaviour of a reservoir. It represents one of the most precious heritages of one of the most brilliant minds who dedicated his life to the advancement of Petroleum Science and Engineering.
